Wonderful food and mocktails. Everything was amazing AND vegan/alcohol free. It did not feel like depriving of an experience at all. I enjoy every time I come here. This evening featured the hot potato’s, charred remains, the abba burger (Swedish meatball inspired) as well as the warlock. Everything was tasty and fresh tasting and the cocktails were so much more than juice and bubbly water. They were fantastically balanced and flavorful and what I was missing.

I can’t believe how good the vegan calamari dish is! Every time I come to Civico, I can try a delicious vegan option, while my meat loving husband enjoys his choice. Also, the vegan pesto to dip the bread in is to die for—so good! Plus, the piazza makes you feel like you are part of the bustle of Little Italy, while still having a little corner to yourself and your party.

We were so pleased that Madison has brought back their delicious jambalaya! Having grown up in New Orleans, I can say that Madison‘s jambalaya is some of the best around! Also loved the live jazz, friendly staff, and good vibe of the place!

Great food, great service. We sat at the rooftop on a beautiful, sunny day. It was really nice and thoroughly enjoyed our time. We took our 4 year old daughter. It’s very family and dog friendly.
